(hi THIRD ANNUAL MEMBER
The “Thomas" Single Disc Drill for Oats
Produces from I to 4 bushels to the acre than any other single
disc drill. 1 hese are the simple reasons:
Our disc tube hoots make a WIDE FURROW. The seed is
scattered all over the wide furrow, and every grain given a chance to
stool out and grow. So there are more and better stalks, producing
more grain, with less waste of seer*.
Other makes of single disc drills make a WEDGE-SHAPED FUR¬
ROW; the grain all runs down to tl e same place, piles up together,
and does not get the same good c! ance to grow as when the seed is
scattered over the wide furrow nr ade by the “ Thomas’* Drill and
thoroughly covered over.
There are so many advantages about this Drill that we cannot
begin here to tell you of them. 1 his Drill is now on exhibition at
our store. Come in to see us and let us show you this Dull and the
many other improved implements we have.
